Jeff Zucker and his lover blow up CNN as they depart

For the second time in a dozen years, Jeff Zucker lit a once-booming media empire on fire only to abandon it for others to repair. But now we know that just as he did at NBC, the since-disgraced CNN boss has again taken Allison Gollust with him.

The only difference this time is that the two alleged lovers unwittingly waged war against Chris Cuomo, becoming the collateral damage of the fired anchor who refused to go down without a fight. This time, workplace indiscretions proved not just mutually assured destruction for the lovers and the prime-time laughing stock but potentially for CNN as a whole.
